The marriage of audio and DVD's as bonus material is the newest line of
defense for the likes of Future Shop, Best Buy, Blockbuster and a number of
retailers whose retail business is 60% DVD vs. 40% audio sales. We have not
been able to get two live CDs into any of these retailers...but they've
warmed to the idea of carrying them if we amalgamate the DVD and the CD
portions into a single package.
